Commence at 7. very proper warnings are given in this treatise on the folly of pursuing this timid course that is de nounced, and the great danger to which it leads. " Great nations," it is said, " do not live and grow a greater age by peace and national prosperity.' For examples, we are shown Imperial Rome, which fell headlong into ruin when she ceased from action, end gave herself up to the pursuits of luxury. If this is put down to "despotism," it is urged that "democracy" has not been very successful on the other side of the Atlantic. The decision arrived at is, that the only sure and safe methoc for a state to pursue is to make the principle of duty its guiding influence and ruling motive. By this means we should not rush into war hastily, nor cling to peace in an ignominious fashion, but calmly and consis tently follow in the right path which may lead through difficulties and danger, but never can con duct to dishonour. It is of no avail for us to be preaching morality to others if lookers-on perceive that we take care not to put our precepts into practice when they would result in our loss or disadvantage. Great stress is here laid on the marked difference that exists in the estimate put upon the words uttered by the English or French in periods of emergency. When the French EM PEROR makes a remark on foreign affairs of any importance, the Funds of Europe fall in conse quence, but little heed is given to our Ministers impressive utterances or striking statements. Now this is hardly a creditable position for a ration like ours to assume, and it is indeed a solemn warning to ail those who persist in advocating the doctrines of expediency, to the detriment of all-important 1 and primary considerations. The bold principle is here laid do wn, end should be followed in our dealings with foreign nations, that we are to wage war or not as honour commands, and not to listen to the plea of the undertaking being too much for u 3. If the time comes when a State " does e,, o t because it dares not interfere, it has ceased, to be a great Power." Sach words ought to . oe written in indelible characters before the eyes of our vacita lating statesmen, and exemplify the doom they are bringing on their country through their mean and unworthy actions. We cannot have a right to in terfere, and yet have a right to stand still; either it must be our dory to do so, or else we ought not to take action. "If war be not oar duty, it is a crime, to Which no nation on earth can plead a right," is very properly enunciated here, and evil will betide that nation that does not advocate such doctrines in her councils, and maintain their labelers vance by all in authority under her rule. The writer then proceeds to examine into the question as to whether Denmark has been sufficiently wronged to justify interference. On this point there can be no doubt in the minds of those who have regarded the question at all attentively. An epitome is given of the leading events of the case, and the conclusion is, of course, that injuries have been inflicted upon that nation. Next, the subject is discussed as to whether there exists any pledge which calls upon England to interfere. In support of this many authorities are quoted, and cogent reasons adduced, to prove the necessity of adhering to the original intentions that actuated those who were parties to the Treaty at the outset, and the words of Earl RUSSELL himself are given, which show th a t t h e most o b l i gatory inducements exist for binding us to the fulfilment of the pledges given at the time of the signing of the treaty to which 8 which invol v 0 many nati ons were part i es, and e so many i n t eres t s to ot h ers, besides concerni ng the welfare of D enmar k i n i ts most vital conc erns. It is said here that the Emperor of the Fittieeer got the armistice; we took the credit, bat he did it. Not till he joined us was • and for all anything lone, our fine sounding phrases, which were bat empty and delusive utterances, no one took the trouble to notice them. The eon- E n gland' s ho n our eluding remarks on are very well it would be a worthy of notice, and b • right day for us if more attention was paid to the tree e e . eaning ' of the te rm . " H er honour is not in vain glory and warlike achievement, still less in ships and stores and prosperous trade, her honour is to r a i se the standard of Europe, and to maintain the prin ciple of duty, and to act as GOD'S servant among the nations in upholding truth and righteousness."

No mistake is so grievous as to listen to The chief question that now engag es attention is Denmark. It not only engrosses the thoughts of public men, but it attracts the interest of those in a private capacity, who do rot ordinarily interfere with the conflicting events of political life. On e o f the greatest difficulties that arise in the considers. tion of this vexed question, is the point of interfer enco cr not-interference. This debiteabio subject has been very ably treated in a pamphlet lately published, called" Intervention, a Duty or a Crime." These pages go far to prove the insufficiency of the present plan, whether as regards due provision for the interests of our allies, or a proper respect for the national honour. The case is treated here in a eery fair and equitable manner, and the waverers who may not as yet quite 'Lava made up their minds will do well to stuiy the Suggestions thus forcibly timorous suggestions of peace when there should be no peace, and to entertain 19w motives of expediency when we are called upon to vindicate our character from reproach, and to render that service to others which is the proudest privilege of power. It ' la not necessary in the present day to dilate upon the merits of the 72.0glish navy. They are too universally admitted, and too cordially recog. nised, to require any such enforcement. Never theless, although the English navy is our boasted bulwark," our << wooden wall" of invincible security, and although the Sailor is especially the darling of the EngHhti people, our nay., officers hove to endufe many hardships beyond these which are the inevitable multi of their condi..on. Among put, and they will, doubtless, rise from the perusal many such, hardships which one would imagine only of these eloquent and impressive pages with their require to be pointed out to be amended, there is a doubts resolved into certainty, and their hesitation peculiar provision in the Pension List which renders merged in conviction as to the necessity of prompt valueless the claims of the widows of any naval and immediate action, not only for the preservation officers who may have married after reaching the of the interests of a brave and struggling people, age of sixty.

Some While the principles which govern our chief educational institutions are forming part of the pubic discussions, and are being closely criticised and examined by men of all parties, preparatory apparently to some legislative change, it is interest ing to turn to a large public school holding its anoual festival, and assembling peers and prelates and other dignitaries of the State to do it honour. The Merchant Taylors' Company is indeed some thing than a mere school, being one of the very first of our mercantile bodies, and possessing all those claims to respect and pre-eminence which four cene turies of active and eventful life can give to any institution. The celebration of Saturday was held, however, exclusively in honour of the school which is connected with it. The exciting days of exami. nation were over, but the more gratifying and gracious ceremony of awarding the prizes so hardly won was among the first of the day's performances, accompanied as usual by the delivery of orations, the acting of scenes from the dramas ot various na tions, and the comments of the head-master on the individual achievements and general conduct of the boys under his care. With the results of the teaching the Merchant Taylors have no reason to be dissatisfied, since out of the eight monitors four have obtained open scholarships this year, and the school can already boast of having ten scholars at Oxford, and six at Cambridge, all doing creditably, according to the testimony of Dr. HESSEY. Al though these statistics and the general ceremony of prize.giving and recitation might be chiefly inte resting to the youths concerned in it and to their immediate connections, still a scene ot the kind possesses its attractions for the grown-up man, busy in the great routine of political, professional, or commercial life. Morelists may speculate on the possible dest' 4 nies of the heroes of the day, preachers may seradionise on the vanity of human hopes and ex?ectations, and furetel the probable disappoint meats that await ambition; scholars may compare the result of a test like the present with those that attended their own school days; but as a general rule the prevailing feeling is one of genial sympathy for the eager youths, of hearty good wishes for their future success, and of kindly yet touching (einem• brance that the grave spectators themselves once formed part of a group as buoyant, as eager, as ambitious. The testimony borne by the head-master to the general good conduct of the boys under his charge was highly gratifying, and proves that the system of discipline adopted in our great schools is not, as some would contend, altogether a failure. At the banquet, as we have said, many of the cele brities of the day were assembled. Law was power. fully represented by Lord CHELMSFORD and WENS.. LEYDALE and several of the judges ; politics by Lord STANLEY and Mr. WALPOLE; the Church of England by the Bishop of OXFORD ; science by Professor OWEN; art by EASTLAKE and LANDSEER; the Universities by the two senior fellows of St. John's, Oxford, and Dr. WYNTER, whose name has lately been needlessly dragged into a newspaper correspondence ; while a goodly show of Earls and Marquisses proved that the Upper House was not unmindful of the welfare of the Merchant Taylors. The usual complimentary toasts called forth the usual courtly responses, and, perhaps, the only noticeable speech of the evening was Lord STANLEY'S reply to the toast of the House of Com mons. In that brief address the noble lord took occasion to maintain the general character of the House, which he was then representing as a deliberative assembly, possessing in a high degree the confidence of the country. For himself be declared that, during the years in which he had been associated with its members, and had taken part in its deliberations, the stronger had become his respect for its opinions and his faith in the general soundness of its deci sions. This is probably the case with any one who mixes with a great public body drawn from various classes, and representing various shades of feeling and opinion on religious, political, and social mat ters. Where the number is large enough, and the individuals sufficiently varied to represent fairly the great body of the English people, we shall always find a sense of right, a love of fair play, a hatred of oppression, regulated and gaided by the sound common sense which is one of the predomi nating characteristics of our countrymen. But, as these qualities are confined to no one class alone, and are no more typical of the peer than of the ' Peasant, there can be no reason to fear any change, or even considerable modification of them, in a new House of Commons which more fairly represented the nation at large. On all questions of national interest or importance, the unanimity of Englishmen of all ranks has always been one of their great safeguards, and there is no reason to p 0 (1 1 i o t u i o b s t , t o lo h a a t n m g e a s t t i e n r s d o o ro f m e s o t r i oe administration,finance, and s oc i a l welfare, would impartial a discu ss i on as they even do r gf e ou e re e es i itg v i e non a s s o e f et w a ' nd careful a co ns id erat i on, as tem perate in an a d classes alone, but all ranks of English householders. The days are gone by when mob orators and demo cratic leaders would have been selected by th e poorer householders. We may depend upon it that no class of constituents will exercise their newly acquired right more pruizntly, more conecientiously, and more judiciously than our now excluded elec tors when once they are admitted to the franchie. They will be eager to show how well they deserve the privilege, how fairly they are able to judge of those political questions of which they were sup posed to be mere wrongheaded enthusiasts. We trust before long that when thanks are returned for the Lower House the speaker may felicitate his hearers on the fact that that House does fairly re present the English people.

His Majesty did not wish by his refusal to interpose an obstacle to the integrity of the Danish monarchy receiving an ulterior guaran tee of stability, and he knew by the renunciations and sacrifices made by those having the right that in accepting the offer made to him he compromised the rights of no one. "Since then things have changed, and his Ma jesty has been obliged to submit to a most cruel disappointment. In spite of his owa efforts and those of his devoted people—his sole support for the realization of a work in which nearly the whole Of Europe had concurred—his Majesty was obliged to take into consideration the possibility that his hopes would not be realized. "If it must be so, if the Powers of Europe really wish to abandon the treaty of London, his Majesty to avoid the resumption of hostilities would not op pose a territorial cession, provided always that he should ettain thereby not only peace, but also an independent, perfect autonomous, existence for that which would remain to him of his States, and on condition that the future destiny of the ceded ter ritories should not be fixed without their consent. "The Danish Government accepts, then, in pin ciple, the proposition made at the last sitting by Earl Russel! for the re establishment of peace be tween Denmark and the two great German Powers. " But in order that peace, which we ardently wish for, may be real, it must be under all condi tions which w ill be neces sary to assure to Denmark the independence which coca - es to her by right, the political independence which the Treaty of London should guarantee to her, and for the preservation of which the Danish people have not hesitated to en gage single-handed in a sanguinary struggle with forcea greatly superior to their own. " The Danish Plenipotwitiaries feel bound to ob serve from the present time that in the sacrifices wished to be imposed on Denmark there are limits which the Danish Government cannot exceed. "The new frontier of Denmark is a vital question for this country, It is necessary that she should possess a frontier having reference to her military and commercial interests, and this frontier ought to be fixed by sufficient guarantees. " There is one other point on which the Danish Government reserves all it s f ree dom. It is only on quite special conditio ns th a t hi s Majesty the King of Denmark will co nsen t to t h e cess ion of the Duchy of Lauenburg. Thi s coun t ry was acquired in his time by the Ring of D enmar k i n e xchange for a part of Pomerani a , to serve as a n equivalent for the kingdom of Norway, sacrificed for the re-esta blishment of the p eace o f E uro pe, and it is essen tially foreign to th e di spute w hich has caused the present war, " Finally, the Danish Plenipotentiaries ought to claim for their Government full liberty to reassume the position which it has invariably maintained up to the present time, on the basis of the Treaty of London, as soon as it sees that the provisional and conditional abandonment of this position will not lead to an equitable and just arrangement fit ting to replace the dispositions of this Treaty," LITERATURE, A Brilliant Managerial Career. MILITIA REGIMENTS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. —A parliamentary return was published yesterday of all regiments of militia in the United Kingdom, showing the number of companies in each regiment, the strength of each company, the number of privates with the regiment at the last training, the n um b er en li s ted between the sth of April, 1862, and the sth o f A pr il, 1853, and between 1863 and 1864, and the sums paid in each regiment for such en listments.

In 1862, in the cities and boroughs the registers contained 31,224 names ; in 1863 the number was 30,673, There has thus been a falling off in both categories. Reminiscences of the Opera. By B am in Lumley. One vol., pp. 448. Hu rs t an d B lackest. During a full score of years Mr. Lumley was Dire4tor of that great,Lyrical establishment in the Haymarket, familiarly known to our fathers and grandfathers as The King's Theatre, to nueseltes as Her Majesty's Theatre, An Operatic Manager at all times in, in his way, somewhat of a Potentate. He lives in the rarified atmosphere of what, by way of especial distinction, is emphatically tetened Society. He floats upon therm:fate of the cream of the cream. He is not simply an unit, but a very important unit in the midst of the Lipper Ten Thousand, Nor is this power, infiriente i prgsliqs, whatever you may like to call it, extends far beyond the wails of his Grand Opera House, wherever that may chance to be situated, whether in Fall shall or in Cavent-garden. It extends far even beyond the outer borders of Meyfair, of Belgravia, of Tybarnia—it extends beyond the Channel—it ad vances into the capitals of all the great leading Powers of the European Continent—it penetrates into the Cabinets of Statesmen, even into the Cabinets of Sovereigns. Of all this, if attesta tion is required by the incredulous, the fullest and the amplest attestation is certainly afforded by these Reminiscences of Mr. Lumley's. As a reper tory of anecdote, we have not for a long while met with anything at all comparable to these unusually brilliant and most diversified Reminiscences. They reveal the Twenty-years' Ditector of Her Ma jesty's, to us, in the thick and throng of all his radiant associations. They take us luringly—as it were led by the button - hole—behind the scenes, in every sense of that decoying and profoundly attractive phrase. They introduce us to all the stars, now singly, now in very constellations. They bring us rapidly, delightfully, exhilaratingly—as we turn the pages containing them, that is, con taining these charming recollections—to a know ledge so intimate of what has really been doing there in the Realm of Song, not only behind the scenes and in the green-room, but in the recep tion apartment of the director himself, that we are au courant with all the whims and oddities of the strange world in which he fills so high and responsible a position, Reading Mr. Lumley, we now know more than we have ever known before of such Queens of the Lyric Stage as Pasta, and Catatani, and Matibran, and Grisi, and Sontag, and Piccolornini—cf such light footed faizi s of the ballet es Teglioni, and Fanny Eisler and Cerito—of such priori tenon* as Rubici, and Mario, and Gerdoni, and Giuglini— of each baritones as Ronconi and Tamburini, or of such bassi profondi as the won. drous Standigl and the mighty Labiacue. Nay, Mr. Lumley takes us out of the glare of the footlights, 'May from the clang of the orchestra into the dt earn haunted presence of the great composers of the age, bringing us face to face, as it were, among others, with It issini, and Mendelssohn, and Meyerbeer, and Verdi, and Balfe, and Donizetti. He lets us into the mysteries of his correspondence in regard to the successful acquisition by him now of an Italian, now of a German artiste, for whom rival Operatic Managers, rival Ministers of State, occasionally even rival Kings and Emperors are contending—he lets us, we say, into the mysteries of his correspondence in respect to such nego tiations, now with Count Cavour, now with Prince Metternich. For—in his doings, in his movements, in his negotiations, Sove reigns, Prime Ministers, Ambassadors, Governments are turn by turn not merely vaguely and cour teously, but directly and profoundly interested! It is pleasantly illustrative of the extraordinary variety of people of eminence in different ways with whom Mr. Lumley, as Director of Her Majesty's Theatre, was brought into familiar communication, according to a homely idiomatic expression, "rubbed elbows," where we fiad him mention ing, among a crowd of kindred incidents, the circumstance of his standing via a via once upon a time with the Emperor Napoleon IIL. then Prince Louis Napoleon, in a quadrille with Carlotta Grisi, Cerito and Taglioni, at the Great Operatic Director's own well-known vNa at Fulham, " The Chancellor's!'' That ultra suburban haunt of the Fashion, where he used to collect together on the "smooth shaven lawns," among the flower beds and the shrubberies, all that was to be found most interesting, season after season, in the West.end districts of the metropolis. The Re miniscences here recounted, in symmetrical crder, if not always with the strictest regard to chrono logical arrangement, extend over a period of two and-twenty years, begieuing in 1836 and ending in 1858, within which interval lie the score of years, already referred to, as marking the epoch of Mr. Lumley's reign at Her Majesty's, as Director. These twenty years, it would hardly be any extravagance to assert, were, all things considered, the most resplendent in the history of that superb establish ment. Remembering it, as he does, in the palmiest days of his very memorable management, Mr. Lumley speaks off it, and we can't wonder in the least at his doing so (bearing in mind, that is, what his recollections must be) as " the noblest lyrical theatre of Europe." Troubious though the history of it has been from first to last, it has always been profoundly interesting. It was so in the dais of Mr. Taylor, the first lessee of the King's Theatre. It is so still—with such artistes yet on the boards as Titiens and Giuglini—under the skilled and enterprising and undaunted direction of the present manager of Her Majesty's, Mr, Mapleson, From the hands of Mr. Taylor who, by mortgaging and selling the boxes, began the complications, thenceforth trammelling the enterprise, year after year, increasingly, the establishment passed for a brief time into the possession of Mr. Goold— thence through a series of dis• tressing Chancery suits to Mr. Goold's executor, Mr. Waters—and not long afterwards from thelatter to the banker Chambers. The father-in.-law of the popular novelist, Mr. Harrison Ainsworth, in other words, that miniature Mudie of his day, Mr. Ebere, first of the Library, later on of the King's Theatre, held the latter for seven tolerably success ful, at any rate not disastrous, years under his management. He had taken the great opera house at the beginning of those seven years from Mr. Chambers, and at the end of them handed it over to Mr. Laporte. From the management of the last mentioned Director, it was that the King's Theatre, afterwards Her Majesty's Theatre, passed into the possession, under the direction, under the mastery of Mr, Lumley. Mr. Lumley, as the world knows, originally having to do with the House and its affairs, purely in his capacity as Mr. Laporte's Legal adviser—finally assuming the sole sway there for twenty memorable years as, himself, in his turn, Lessee and Director. As exemplars at once of the delightfully interesting incidents he here has to recount, and of his sparkling vivacity of manner while recounting them, several passages of the attractive work now under notice tempt us to give them by way of illustrative quota tion. Torn away from the context piecemeal, though they are, given thus though they necessarily must be in a mere fragmentary shape, they will serve to justify our commendation of the book as one more than simply readable throughout. A book as enthralling, let us say, as an anecdotal talk over a cigar in a Richmond-hill balcony, upon a summer's evening, with some most agreeable companion, who, besides being an agree able companion, has a good deal to tell from his own experience, and who, beyond all that, is a bril liant conversationalist. After this fashion, as be tween the puffs of our cigar, we listen to Mr. Lumley while he thus recounts to us his vivid remembrance of Jenny Lind's Debut;-- The brilliant appearance of the house inside was increased by the presence of the Queen and Prince Albert, the Queen Dowager and Duchss ot Kent, who had all come to w i circa the dtbut of Jenny Lind. On the entrance of the newprun s donna as Alice, the welcome given to one who, though un known, had already won renown, was unusually enthusiastic. For a few moments she appeared bewildered and " scared, ' but her self - possessio n returned. Her very first notes seemed to enthral the audience. The cadenza at the end of her opening air—the whole of which was listened to with a stillness quite singular—called down a hurricane of applause. From that moment her success was certain. The evening went or, and before it ended, Jenny Lind was established as the favourite of the English opera public. Voice, s'yle, execution, manner, acting—all delighted. The triumph Lyrical Theatre in the Haymarket, ought to have been written ! And now that, in recognition of this fact by Mr. Lumley himself, they have ben written thus delightfully and, all will admir, m os t amns ingly, we are rejoiced that they have been jutted down and given to the world during his own life. line, by the well.known arecto;"a own hand almost, we had said, in the very form, certainly with all the authority of an autobiography. A Fatal Error; or, The Vyviannes. By J. Mas termau. Two Vols. Smith, Elder, and Co. * The story of Constance Vyvianne—who arrives, a little timid child, from India, to prove a bone of contention to her uncongenial relatives—in the first chapter--who, shortly afterwards, falling into the hands of a novel-reading lady, undergoes a danger ous apprenticeship of sentimentality—and who ulti mately, under the influence of the "fatal error" which overcasts the sunshine of her life, enacts (under mistakea views) the part of a heroine, is a most interesting story, and is most charmingly narrated. We cannot but think the conduct ot Constance, even under her "error," a great mittak9, but we shall not hare enter into a particular aTia iysis of that conduct lest we should reveal the mystery of the book. The first volume, and the early portion of the second, before the occurrence cf the event which leads to the "fatal error," is by fer the most pleasing. The various characters are very happily delineated, and the domestic sketches are singularly attractive. Bolton Lance, the lively sailor hero, is a most delightful character, and assuredly deserves better treatment than he meets with from his mistaken bride. Major Vyvianne is gay and selfish, and Gabriel Lance, his admiring shadow, occasionally appears to be, an imitation of Lord Dundreary. Me first volume is enlivened by an election, and the second con tains a very interesting account of the rescue ot some miners, buried in the earth. The conver sations with which both volumes .bound are, for the most part, sprightly and animated, and the uevel-res.der o seeks to be pleasurably enter twined will indeed commit a " fatal error" if he n egl ec t to nuke acquaintance with " The V) viances.''

The Girls' Joicrnal, Parts I. and 11. The " boys" have for some time past bad a maga zine of their own, and now a new periodical makes us appearance for the benefit of the "girls." 1';:e contents appear to resemble the Family Herald and the Lady's Newspaper, without possessing the par ticular merits of either. The " patterns" given may ba very acceptable for the worktable, end the novelettes may wile away a passing hour, but we could wish for the leisure hours of the girls of Eng.. land a more profitable employment. Instead of imitating the sensational effects now so much admired by older novel writers, the projectors of this new journal should endeavour to grace its pages with simple tales of sterling merit, such as the writings of Maria Edgeworth and Mary Russel Mitforu. A reprint of some of those deservedly popular works, with original stories of a similar character, such as - Miss Tytler or the author of the " Heir of Redclyffe" might contribute, would render the Girls' Journal a valuable and enduring publi cation.

Reboul, 01 Nimes, died on the 29th May, in his native town, atter long and painful sufferings. He was born in 1796, and continued to furnish his fellow townsmen with fresh rolls all his life, although his poems had been rece i ved so favourably. The first collection of his " Poe'sies" appear e d in 1836, introduced by Lamartine and A. Dumas. Lamar tine's muse has evidently strongly influenced Reboul's genius, which was not of power sufficient ever to take quite an original footing. In 1846, a second collection followed. In 1848, Reboul was member of, the Assembles Consti tuante, for the Gard department. The town of Nismes hay honoured its poet. by a princely funeral, at which the Maire, the Prefect, all the higher officials of the department Gard, numerous officers of the army, the bishop. and all the clergy assisted, accompanied by a vast crowd of people. After three different addresses, a poem in Provencal dialect was delivered at the grave. The town is about to erect a mausoleum to his memory. PATRIOTIC AMERICAN LADIES.-A recent letter from Indianapolis says :—" The ladies of Indiana. polls have energetically entered upon the work of recruiting. Seven hundred of them, under trick own names, in tilt, public irints, volunteer to take the places in business of as many men who will go to the war. This is- more than the city's quota under the last call." was achieved. At the end or the r•rformance, the Queen, who during the entire evening had repeatedly manifested her extreme satisfaction, expressed to me her admiration in a tone and manner that snowed how deep an impres sion b.ad kelt made upon her. " What a beautiful siok.:,er I" " What au actress " How charming I" " How deligh:.- ful Those were the exclamations that fell from the lips of her Majesty, whom I had never before seen thus moved to enthusiasm. As the aroma of the regalia floala cn into the even ing air iroln the Itiehmotid iialton7 l hear him as L: discourses about Mademoiselle R tchei In " Bajazet," in " Andremaque," in " Marie Stuart," ehti eleilttified the house, and even in the monotonous " Aridne," of Thomas Corneille, and the dial! " Taecrede," of Voltaire, she worked up her audience by the great force of her impere,nations to a state of frantic admiration, Great indeed must have been the power of this ycung actress to hate net only reconciled the English taste to the un congenial classicalities of French " legitimate" tragedy,but to have produced in her audience a positive enthusiasm. It is a genuine fact, that many ladies fainted from emo tion c urieg these representations, One was carried in sensible from the theatre, in spite of all efforts to recover her. On this circumstance being told to an American manager, ho exclaimed, " Oh, that's nothing I she ought to have died in the theatre I the effect would have been tremendous--what a good puff lost I" The humble origin of Mademoiselle Rachel is well known ; but few perhaps are aware that she had not received in her youth the com monest rudiments of education, and that she taught herself writing merely by copying the manuscript of others. On her first introduction into high society she was greatly embarrassed by the conventions of tiaa table, and the ques tion that once arose in her mind, at a grand dinner, as to ' the proper use of the knife and fork in the consumption of asparagus, was infinitely embarrassing. Among the earliest of his recollections, he thus re lates the stirring aspect of the King's Theatre during the height of " The Tamburini Row :" The famous omnibus boxes were filled towards the con clusion of the opera, with the fashionable allies of the coalition; and it was from this quarter that, on the fall of the curtain, the uproar first commenced. Shouts of " Tam burini I" "Laporte I" " rareburini I" were taken up and echoed by partisans, and easil3 -led public clamourers, in various parts of the house; whilst many of the genuine public raised the counter cries of "Shame "No in i midarion !" "Don't be bullied I" and even evidenced their sense of the real cause of the disturbance by shouting, "Turn out the omnibus responded to by the occupants with cries of "You had better try." Several times Monsieur Laporte appeared, and endeavoured to address the aueience, but the deafening clamour rendered him inaudible. Yells, hisses, shouts, over powered every other sound. A sort of stormy conference took place during this scene of contusion between the ma nager and the tenants of the omnibus boxes, whose rage seemed to increase as the "row" warmed their blood. The curtain at last rose upon the ballet. Cerito was that evening to Lave made her first appearauce. For more than an hour the scared coryphe'es stood ready to begin. In vain I For the fourth cane bd. Laporte appeared. Fie seemed to have succumbed, for in answer to direct api.eals on the point, he promised to make propositions to Tarnburini. But even this did not appear suldieieut to the originators of the row. They still hooted, and at last, the whole of the noble and inshionablo occupants of the omnibus b .xes leaped on the stage, among them a young Prince or the Blood. The cur tain Low fell definitively, and, amidst the sympathetic cheers of, one purtiOn of the house and the hootines of another, the gallant chevaliers of the " omnibus' waved their hats triumphantly, and shouted " Victory I" Altogether these "Reminiscences" of Mr. Lum!ey as Operatic Manager for twenty years at toe Great C-P.IFTI (11)0111,4 TVA ,ar HER MAJESTY, WINDSOR CASTLE, Monday: Her itljeßty went to Lwacion to-day, expressly to the Duke of N . fweP.etle, who *ls alarmingly The Que , en afierwarils went to the Deanery at lirestminster.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE KING OF BAVARIA."'-' A letter from Munich states that King Louis, a short time since, met with an accident which might have cost him his life.

To give, we suppose, an insight into the after life of the celebrated nobleman, who has attracted such crowded audiences to the Haymarket, Mr. Sothern last night appeared in a new ono act farce by Mr. H. J. Byron, entitled " Lord Dundreary, Married and Done For." The public were too well pleased to meet again with his lordship under any circum stances, and, as a married man, he was most cordially welcomed. The curtain rises, and the elegant drawing-room in his country villa is discovered, and in a few minutes after the audience at once be.. come aware of the fact that his wife's mother is both master and mistress of the entire establishment- Mrs. Mouutchessington has become Lady Tree' chard, and to relieve her darling Georgiana from the cares and anxieties of housekeeping, she has taken upon herself the entire direction of affairs, his lordship being looked upon as nobody. All the affectionate family quarter themselves at his lordship's residence ; one wears his clothes, smokes hie cigars, and borrows his money; another rides end breaks the knees of his favourite horse; an° lber is constantly revering him to obtain an aplvi nt4 meat for hint ; and, to make up the full measure of discomfort, another is carr3ing on a flirtation wit h a lady named Eceily, for which Lord Dondreari is trade the scapegoat.

Mr. Webster was never mme successful than in his assumption of this very difficult part;. and last evening all the variad phase s o f t h e cha racter were developed with a care and freshness. worthy the highest praise. We know of no actor who combines in a higher degree than Mr, Webster the ability to keep the att en ti on of an audience e n" chained by his own individual exertions, and thie result he accomplishes, not having recourse to aoY" stage tricks or conv ent i ona l sh i fts, bat by t h e exer cise of the hi str i on i c power which e minently belongs t o him.
